Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Qin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Are you planning to tamper with the secret decree?"

"This should be the easiest way." Zhao Gao said.

Qin Wei's expression moved slightly, this is a good way.

"But if you want to tamper with the secret decree, you must get rid of Eunuch Lu."

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "The slave is already attacking Eunuch Luo, as long as he can solve Eunuch Luo, Eunuch Lu will be next."

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, and said: "Eunuch Lu is not so easy to deal with, he has no descendants."

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "But he is a warrior. And he is also an innate warrior!"

Qin Wei's eyes moved slightly, he knew this.

He didn't know it before, but since Cao Zhengchun entered the imperial city, he has already realized that Eunuch Lu is a congenital warrior.

"You want to seduce him with martial arts?"

Zhao Gao shook his head, and said: "No, as the saying goes, a bystander is clear, Eunuch Lu knows His Highness far better than His Majesty."

"We just need to let him know that His Highness is the most suitable new emperor."

Qin Wei nodded slightly. He had more contact with Eunuch Lu than Lihuang, and Eunuch Lu, who is in charge of the Imperial City Division, must know a lot about him.

And changing Eunuch Lu's attitude is much easier than changing Lihuang's attitude.

"If we can win Eunuch Lu's trust, we may be able to change His Majesty's attitude through Eunuch Lu, and we won't need to tamper with the secret order."

Zhao Gao continued: "Of course, the secret decree is our last line of defense. If the final result is unsatisfactory, then we can only make a fuss about the secret decree."

Qin Wei played with the chess pieces in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Gao's strategy is very good, and it can ensure to the greatest extent that he can obtain the right to inherit the throne in a legitimate way. Although it is not easy to accomplish this, at present, there is no better way than this strategy.

"The secret decree is the last line of defense, but we still need an insurance." Qin Wei thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness?" Zhao Gao asked.

Qin Wei said: "The [-]th Regiment Battalion."

The [-]th Regiment Battalion is responsible for the imperial guards in the capital. Apart from the Tianwu Guards in the imperial city, the [-]th Regiment Battalion is the most important.

"My lord has some friendship with Li Ji!" Qin Wei's lips curled up slightly.

When he left Beijing, Li Ji personally saw him off and gave him a favor.

Qin Wei reckoned that it would be impossible for Li Ji to rebel, but if he could support him in fighting for the throne, it would still be possible.

Li Ji is a smart man. He had already made a choice at the beginning, and now he has no reason to change his choice.

Zhao Gao grabbed a handful of chess pieces and placed them on the board one by one.

"Qing Fushan, you can ignore it for the time being. Without Lihuang's order, they will not interfere in the affairs of the court, and as long as we can control the line of defense of the secret decree, then they will not become our stumbling block."

"In the imperial city, Eunuch Lu's attitude is very important. He is the most trusted person of His Majesty."

"In the court, the Governor's Mansion is controlled by nobles, but currently the Governor's Mansion is the most chaotic, and most of the nobles have already found their masters, but their choice is not important, the most important thing is Li Ji."

"As for the court, His Highness may still need to win Ji Yuanchen over."

Zhao Gao placed the chess pieces one by one on the chessboard, and each chess piece represented the current people and forces in the capital.

Qin Wei looked at the chess piece representing Ji Yuanchen, and nodded slightly.

Yan Zhen could not tell, Ji Yuanchen was the most prestigious civil servant in the court.

As for matters like the succession of the throne, the attitude of civil servants is also very important.

After all, the pens of civil servants are sometimes sharper than the swords and guns of military officers.

If they don't agree with you, you will most likely become a rebel who will be condemned by everyone in the world.

"Eunuch Lu, Li Ji, Ji Yuanchen!" Qin Wei read softly, these three people are very important, if they can be subdued, it will be very easy for Qin Wei to inherit the throne.

Of course, this is when Qing Fushan is ignored.

In fact, the attitudes of Li Xun and Yan Zhen are also very important, but they live in seclusion on Qingfu Mountain after all, and many things can bypass them.

"Find a way for me to meet Li Ji first." Qin Wei said.

Compared with the other two, Qin Wei has more confidence in winning over Li Ji.

"Well, the servant will arrange it later."

Zhao Gao responded, and then asked again: "Then where is Eunuch Lu?"

"Let Wang An try it out." Qin Wei said.

Cao Zhengchun couldn't reveal it, but Wang An could. In fact, it was not a secret in the Imperial City Division that Wang An took refuge in him. After all, Wang An used the Imperial City Division to do many things for him before, and Eunuch Lu should have known about it long ago.

As for Ji Yuanchen, Qin Wei also has some ideas, but his ideas are still a little immature, and he needs to think about it.

"Do you have contact with Wang Shouren?" He asked suddenly.

Zhao Gao shook his head, "No!"

Wang Shouren had just returned to the capital from Yunzhou with Yan Zhen a few days ago, and he had never had a chance to get in touch with Wang Shouren.

Qin Wei tapped the chessboard lightly and said, "Find a way to send a message to him and let him enter the court as an official."

At this time, it seemed that Wang Shouren was not in a hurry to enter the court as an official. After all, it was impossible for Wang Shouren to hold any high-level official position in the first place.

But Wang Shouren was Yan Zhen's closed disciple, and he was also a Confucianism cultivator.

The official rank cannot be too high, but some positions are still very important, such as the housekeeper of the cabinet system.

The housekeeper who made the edict, from the official position of the seventh rank, is in charge of making edicts, imperial edicts, edicts, books, inscriptions, jade letters, sermons, stele foreheads, inscriptions, exposing posts and other confidential documents.

Although this position is not high-ranking and has no powers, it just writes edicts as usual, but in the cabinet, he is responsible for writing confidential documents.

Qin Wei just wanted Wang Shouren to enter the cabinet and serve as the housekeeper of the imperial edict. He didn't ask him to do big things, he just needed him to monitor Ji Yuanchen and the cabinet.

With Wang Shouren's current status and background, if he wants to enter the cabinet and serve as a member of Zhongshushe, it should not be difficult.

Chapter 177 We really can't leave Dali

Imperial City, inside Shengtian Hall.

Li Huang hunched over, standing in front of the window, looking at the branches and leaves fluttering in the breeze outside the window, slightly stunned.

Eunuch Lu came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Yunyan City has once again been attacked by the Rong army."

"The four northern Rong clan royal courts assembled 50 troops and approached Yunyan City. Yuwen Chengdu, the general of Yunyan City, burned half of the city, temporarily delaying the attack of the Rong clan army, waiting for support."

He reported very fast.

Li Huang didn't speak, he was still looking at the fluttering branches outside the window, the wind blowing in from the window made his pale beard flutter slightly.

"The cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Mansion are already waiting in the hall." Eunuch Lu said again.

Only then did Li Huang turn around, sit on the chair behind the desk, and said with a calm expression: "Decree has been passed to make Li Xun the governor of Beizhou, Qinzhou, and Liangzhou, to take charge of the military and administration of the three states, and to manage the guarding forces of the three states. The Three-State Frontier Army, the Prime Minister's Northern Warfare!"

Eunuch Lu lowered his head and replied, "Old slave obeys!"

"Let everyone in the hall disperse!"

Li Huang's voice floated up again.

Eunuch Lu raised his head, looked at Li Huang, who was leaning on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, and said goodbye, and slowly exited the room.

There are four royal courts of the Rong nationality in the north of Dali, namely Wuhuan royal court, Huyan royal court, Kangju royal court and Wusun royal court.

Among them, the Wuhuan Royal Court occupies the most fertile grassland, has the largest population, and is the most powerful.

In Yunyan City.

Black soldiers and horses poured into the city stepping on the dust all over the ground, filled with the smell of burnt.

Among the army, a tall man was riding on a horse, holding a simple knife, looking up at the city wall in front of him.

This tall man is the new king of Wuhuan Royal Court, Uher, who is only in his 40s. It is so extraordinary that it has become the most dazzling sunrise by countless herdsmen on the grassland.

Three years ago, after Uher became the King of Wuhuan, he showed obvious hostility towards Dali. He was unwilling to submit to Dali. Under his instruction, many Rong tribes on the border of Dali are constantly provoking Dali's border troops.

Previously, Dali's frontier army was invaded by Rong cavalry one after another, and it was he who initiated it.

And the last time the [-] Rong army attacked Yunyan City was also his temptation.

For the past three years, he has been uniting the other three Rong royal courts, intending to fight Dali together.

It's just that the other three royal courts were extremely afraid of Dali and did not dare to unite with him, so he could only endure it.

But just half a year ago, someone suddenly helped him contact the Three Great Courts, and also sent him a large amount of supplies and food, which made him unable to bear the ambition in his heart anymore, and began to prepare a plan to invade Dali.

Up to now, the four northern royal courts have reached an alliance agreement, and he, King Wuhuan, has also become the leader of the Rong alliance.

Looking up at the densely packed soldiers on the city wall, a raging smile flashed across his dark brown pupils.

Although a fire blocked them for a day and a night, the behavior of the defenders in Yunyan City made him very excited, because it seemed to him that they were afraid of him.

At this time, on the city wall, Yu Wencheng was dressed in iron armor, standing on the city tower, staring at the approaching Rong army with sharp eyes.

All the soldiers of the frontier army around were holding their weapons tightly and staring at him.

Once an enemy climbed the wall, they would explode with a thunderous blow, killing them.

A chilling atmosphere filled the entire Yunyan City, and a dull atmosphere was suppressed in everyone's heart.

The expected attack came as expected.

With the sound of dull horns, the Rong army finally launched an attack.

The dark enemy army began to attack the city wall like a tide.

In the absence of siege equipment, they still broke out with terrifying fighting power, and climbed towards the city wall without fear of death.

Holding the phoenix wings gilded with gold in his hand, Yu Wencheng looked at the enemies who kept climbing the city wall with a cold and handsome expression on his face.

"kill!"

With his cold shout, the frontier soldiers on the city wall burst out with fiery fighting intent like a burning fire.

The tragic war was once again staged in this city that has been devastated by the years.

Fifty miles east of Yunyan City.

A cavalry came galloping.

"Report!"

The roar resounded through the entire cavalry team.

Bai Qi hurriedly stopped the horse, and the galloping cavalry stopped one after another.Chinese website

"General Qi, the Rong army has launched an attack in Yunyan City!"

"A large number of cavalry from the Northern Rong camp are attacking the surrounding fortresses!"

"Almost all the supporting troops from all sides were intercepted by the Rong cavalry!"

The scout spoke extremely fast.

After the words fell, Bai Qi's face became extremely dignified.

If Yunyan City is in trouble, the frontier troops and guards from all sides will come to support them, but the army of the Rong tribe will obviously not stand by and watch those reinforcements coldly, they will definitely send troops to intercept them.

Bai Qi raised his head and looked in the direction of Yunyan City. They were still more than 50 miles away from Yunyan City. If they continued to move forward, they would inevitably be blocked by Rong cavalry.

And once they get into a hard fight, they won't be able to support Yunyan City.

The problem now is that the Rong army has a large number of generals, and their reinforcements are too scattered, it is difficult to gather together, and they lack a unified command.

It's not that the frontier army has no command. The northern frontier army is unified under the command of the former military governor's mansion. The former army governor's mansion has a frontier envoy in Qinzhou, which can uniformly deploy all frontier troops within Qinzhou.

But the problem now is that the Si Yamen is in Qinzhou City, and it is impossible to command in time.

At present, Bai Qi has only received a transfer order from the envoy Si Yamen to support Yunyan City, but he has not received any other orders other than the transfer order.

Bai Qi pondered for a long time and said, "Let's go north!"

All the generals around were taken aback, and asked in puzzlement, "General, why are we going north?"

Bai Qi explained: "Go directly to Yunyan City, we will definitely encounter obstacles, but they certainly don't expect us to go north."
